Abstract

Diluting the combustion mixtures is one of the advanced approaches to reduce the NO x emission of methane/air premixed turbulent flame, especially with high diluents to create a distributed reaction zone and mild combustion, which can lower the temperature of reaction zone and reduce the formation of NO x . The effect of N 2 /CO 2 dilution on the combustion characteristics of methane/air premixed turbulent flame with different dilution ratio and different exit Reynolds number was conducted by OH-PLIF and CH 2 O-PLIF. Results show that the increase of dilution ratio can sharply reduce the concentration of OH and CH 2 O, and postpone the burning of fuel. Compared with the ultra-lean combustion, the dilution weakens the combustion more obviously. For different dilution gases, the concentration of OH in the combustion zone varies greatly, while the concentration of CH 2 O in the unburned zone is less affected by different dilution gas. The CO 2 dilution has a more significant effect on OH concentration than N 2 with the given dilution ratio, but a similar effect on the concentration of CH 2 O in the preheat zone of flame. However, dilution does not have much influence on the flame structure with the given turbulent intensity.
